As we vetted the best bathroom rugs out of the many options out there, we first looked at materials to ensure functionality, comfort and durability. (On that front, we paid close attention to the mat’s grams per square meter, or GSM, which indicates how densely woven the fabric is (the higher the number, the heavier it is, which is ideal for something as high-traffic as a bath mat). We also took into account the size and color options, ease of care instructions, the price and, of course, whether it’s going to look nice in your space. While some people (ahem, hi) prefer a non-slip back on a bathroom rug, it isn’t a priority for everyone—especially if you’re trying to avoid synthetic materials or want something you can mindlessly throw in the dryer—so while non-slip wasn’t a must, we did find some options with that in mind.
